President Lincoln was one of greatest presidents. This film reenacts the events that made Lincoln a bold and memorable president.

Although I didn’t find Lincoln intriguing, Daniel Day-Lewis was fantastic as Lincoln. Lincoln was full of political insults, trash talk, and drama. There was a great amount of tension between Lincoln, his cabinet, congress and his family. The movie illustrates how hard of a job it is to be the president; It is even harder when the nation is in a civil war. In order to save the nation from slavery, Lincoln had to pass the 13^th amendment. There was much polarization in the political parties during the 1800s an this leads to arguing and drama around the ratification of the 13^th amendment. Tom J. Finkelston says, “Lincoln creates exciting scenarios without fighting and gory scenes.” If you enjoy politics and the history of our nation, then you will enjoy Lincoln.
